meh only Sky connect in my area £40 + £50 setup then £17 a month

Its hard to find uncapped connections that are not expensive ( ISPs know people who specifically want uncapped are heavy users )

I went with www.ndo.com because - 60gb peak time traffic ( my highest net use in one month ever has been around 45 gb ) and 300gb offpeak traffic ( offpeak is only around 4-5hrs a day though but enough that if your close to 60gb a month you wont hit it ).

Good price ( 25/mo for 8mb ) and very reliable so far.


I used to be on pipex but when they decided to financially shaft old customers by not allowing transfer to adslmax ( 8mb ) for their £35/mo 2mb customers I decided it was time to offski.


Oh and 1 month min contracts instead of the usual 3/6/12 you get from the greedy ISPs.

I'll ask my mate who he has just switched too, he reckoned he hit a 40GB monthy cap in the first day

I am with TalkTalk (Carphone Warehouse) 8Mb connection, and its free.. sssshhhh dont tell everyone. Well free when you get your phone with them, and free to call America,Oz and all the EU.

I'm with NTL cable and it's pretty much unmetered.  They have a fair use policy but I do between 40 and 120 gb per month and haven't been talked to yet.  It's cable though and I'm on the 4mb service for £24.99pm.   


I should look around really.

I've heard you can get 10meg for < £10pm from ntl if you moan right

Pipex

8meg service £24.99 per month - first 3 months free (or it was)

also add £5 to it and get 24hr free local calls.

I think I'll give complaining to NTL a bash.  Was playing last night and I had so many disconnections. Only about 30 seconds at a time, but it's very annoying.

On the subject of Pipex,,,

I was with Bulldog - 2meg service as this was the maximum they said my line would support.

Pipex then bought out Bulldog, so I asked again about 8meg service and was told that it wasnt available on my line.

So I switched to Pipex (same company) and hey presto, 8meg for me

They wanted to juice the 2meg customers like us paying £35/mo for as long as possible before letting us switch to 8meg, I put up with it for 3-4 months then decided they could go fuck themselves.
